Canon has announced a new 12 Megapixel DSLR: EOS 450D with Live View feature and a 3" LCD screen.
The new EOS 450D features significant improvements over its predecessor 400D (Digital Rebel Xti), like a new 12 MP CMOS sensor, 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View with contrast-detect AF mode, spot metering, 14-bit processing, 3.5 fps continuous shooting, improved AF, a larger viewfinder. Some of the features like spot metering and larger viewfinder have been expected in Rebel series for a long time, and finally Canon decided to satisfy the entry level users with the new 450D in these matters. EOS 450D is surely a feature-rich entry level DSLR camera, even it outmatches its prosumer class brother EOS 40D in some areas like sensor resolution (12 MP vs. 10MP), and Live View implementation (Contrast Detect AF Mode)
Canon also claims improved ergonomics -mainly the hand grip- over the existing Digital Rebel series cameras, which have been one of the most frequently mentioned diasadvantages of the series, especially for the users with big hands. We have to admit that the new 450D has better looks then the 400D, even looks more like a baby 1D series camera in shape.
